... for non-title main and co-main events. Anyone agree?

Why? MMA has passed boxing over the past two years in inaccurate judges decisions and I think that is for two reasons.

1) It's using boxing's scoring system for some reason.
2) 3 round fights.

Why do you disagree?

They're called Championship rounds for a reason. The UFC have 7 titles right now so there should be a title match at every PPV.

I understand that, but if you keep them at 3 rounds it's going to continue ripping the integrity of the sport away and any confidence in the judges.

Well you get dodgy decisions in 5 round fights also. Machida-Rua 1, Rampage-Griifin and even Penn-Edgar 1. Rua and Rampage both won their fights yet the judges screwed them.

I agree that main events should now be five rounders, then we wouldn't have stupid decisions like we did for Penn vs Fitch.
